Stimulus Check with a Negative AGI

[corrheag]

Hello, 

When I log in to get my payment, it says they need to confirm my banking information. It asks me to enter my AGI which is -10, but it won't accept a negative or 0 when I enter the information. I am now locked out of the system for 24 hours. what should I do?

I don't think you entered your correct AGI which is your Adjusted Gross Income

(amount you earned) now at this point practice patience until that 24 hour lockout period and just try again

The AGI is on line 8b of your 2019 form 1040 or line 7 of your 2018 form 1040.

Hello, 

My AGI on line 7 for 2018 is -10. I am self-employed. I had a net loss of -10. That is the correct AGI. Do I put 0 or -10 in the get my payment when they ask to confirm my AGI? 

Thank you, 

[corrheag]

-10 is the correct AGI. When I log into My Turbo Tax account, it says "AGI -10" I received a state refund that year. In any case, if your AGI is negative, do you enter in -10 or 0? 

Thank you,

I am in the same situation with the AGI -7112 and no refund or taxes owed. What is needed to get this thru. I have downloaded my transcript from the IRS and those are the numbers that they have on file. HELP, this stimulus money is needed!!!

Like many others - need help on how to put a negative AGI on IRS stimulus for Covid 19. This is on my form1040 from 2018 taxes line 7 it is a negative number. 

The IRS stimulus Check my Status will not allow a negative number -6937 or $0 or (6937) or an X6937. 

Anyone find out how to fill out with a negative number? 4/24/2020

It must be so nice that some people make so much money that they have no idea that a person could actually have a negative AGI!! Have patience?? Seriously? I wonder if I call my mortgage company and tell them to have patience - they would be cool with that. Or my car payment. Or my business lease agreement. Have patience. I am making no money. I do not get unemployment. I cant get a loan. But I am told to stay home. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! IRS has given everyone a stimulus check besides the people who have a negative AGI - The people who need it the most. There is no TOGETHER in this.

 I presume that message was directed towards me I survive paycheck to paycheck and barely can stay afloat and well I actually did not know that a person can have a negative AGI always learn something but I was just trying to be of some help if any and yes patience which I practice every day I meant no harm in any way hope everything works out for all

Same boat. I can’t seem to find the answer and now locked out for 24 hours.
